You can export your map (or in some cases just the selected topics) to a variety of other formats. You can also create Mindjet Player standalone interactive maps.
You can export your map using the commands found on the File tab's Export dialog or by choosing a format in the Save As dialog Save as type list.
If the export you want to use does not appear in either place, you must enable the corresponding export add-in using the Add-ins options. Simple outlines (only in the Save as type list) are enabled using the Transformations options.

When you create a Mindjet Player file, MindManager exports the current map to a file in PDF or SWF format that can be viewed independently from MindManager. The exported map is self-contained and interactive: viewers can orient it, expand and collapse topics, read topic notes, search for text, and print selected topics or the entire map.
Mindjet Player does not support some map elements. You can exclude topics from the Player file by hiding them with a filter, but all other supported map elements are included, even if they are hidden.
Do one of the following:
Click the File tab, click Export, click Create Player (PDF), or click Create Player (SWF).
Click File,
Save As, and in the Save as type list, choose Mindjet
Player Maps - PDF (*.pdf) or Mindjet Player Maps - SWF (*.swf)
The PDF format file requires Adobe Reader to view. If you use another
PDF viewer, it must support PDF's with embedded Flash content.
The SWF format file requires a browser with a Flash plugin or another
application that can display Flash files.
Choose the location for the exported file, and enter its name.
Notes:
The PDF format file requires Adobe Reader to view. If you use another
PDF viewer, it must support PDF's with embedded Flash content.
You must be connected to the Internet to generate Mindjet Player files.
Mindjet Player maps cannot be edited.
MindManager can export maps to various graphics formats:
BMP GIF JPEG PNG WMF EMF
This command exports the entire map. If you only want an image of a part of the map you can copy topics then paste them as a bitmap in the target application.
Click
the File tab, click Export, and then click Export
as Image.
In the Save As Type list, click the image format you want to export.
Choose a folder, enter the File name, then click Save.
Mindjet
Catalyst
You can save the image to a workspace by clicking Save
in Mindjet Catalyst, then selecting a workspace.
An option dialog is shown where you can define the color resolution, transparency, and size for bitmap files.
In many applications you can paste your map, or selected topics, as a bitmap image:
In MindManager, select the central topic (copies the whole map) or the topics you want to copy, and then press CTRL+C.
Switch to the target application, then use the Paste Special command to paste the map or topics as a bitmap.
The Pack and Go command is used to add maps, and optionally, linked documents to a ZIP file. A Wizard guides you through the steps to package the maps. You can use this command to package a single map and its linked documents in Map View or for multiple maps in Linked Maps View. This makes it easy to move the map to a different location (for example, to a central location on your intranet, or to a different system if you are doing a presentation on a different computer).
These same steps are used to create an archive when using the Send feature to email a map or maps.
Click the File tab, click Export, and then click Pack and Go.
The Pack and Go wizard starts.
On the first screen you can choose which files to add to the ZIP archive.
If you do not include the linked documents, the hyperlinks remain in the map, but do not function. Only the first level of linked maps is included - this means that if the main map links to a child map, the child map is included, but any maps that the child map links to are not.
On the second screen you enter the path and filename for the ZIP file. You can also add a comment to display when the files are unpacked form the archive.
On the third screen you have the option to enable password protection for the archive, and enter a password. Click finish to start the packaging process.
When the packaging is complete, a message appears, and you can open the archive, open the target folder or close the wizard.
Click the File tab, click Export, and then click Export as Web Pages. The Save as Web Pages dialog appears and shows you a preview of a generic page using the current style.
Optional Click Select Template to choose a different look and feel for your pages.
Optional Click Customize to change the options for the export.
Optional Choose an Export folder for your html files. Click Delete Folder if you want to remove an older version of this folder (e.g. from a previous export).
Click Save.
The pages will be exported and you can display them immediately in your browser by clicking Open.
If you want to customize the output, MindManager offers an interface to many of the design parameters that are used by each template, for example you can enter your user info (email address, web site, etc.), include headers and footers, edit the navigation labels, and more.
For even further customization, you can edit the files that make up the template directly. Depending on what you want to change, this may require knowledge of the use of cascading style sheets (CSS) and HTML, and familiarity with MindManager macro files.
The Web page export information is saved with the map when it is saved. You can also save the customized web template for re-use on other maps.
